The heat and humidity will slowly build over the next several days. By early next week, air temperatures may hit 100 degrees with feels-like temperatures well above that.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Any rogue showers will quickly diminish after nightfall. Beneath mainly clear skies, low temperatures will skid into the mid 70s. Friday will be hot again. High temperatures will chug into the upper 90s. Still, humidity is going to the on the lower end with feels like temperatures just a few degrees higher than air temperatures. There may be a stray shower or storm during the afternoon.

Up Next: Some changes will ensue over the weekend. Humidity and overall moisture in the atmosphere will start to increase on Saturday. By Sunday, this may be just enough to support isolated showers and thunderstorms during the peak heating hours of the afternoon. While this low possibility will exist through the early part of next week, at the same time, the big dome of hot air in the atmosphere will also be expanding over the Gulf Coast. With lows in the upper 70s and highs in the low 100s, heat alerts may be needed once again for feels-like temperatures in the 105 to 110 range. Signs point to persistent heat and possibly even higher high temperatures for the middle and end of next week.

The Tropics: A tropical wave is located several hundred miles to the southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Conditions are expected to be favorable for gradual development of this system in a few days, and there is a forty percent chance that a tropical depression could form late this weekend or early next week while the system moves generally west-northwestward over the tropical Atlantic.
